So as a cyclist, you are just fine with repeatedly causing motor vehicles, moving at 55 mph or more, to slow to 15mph to accommodate your hobby? There are things in this world equally as bad as impatience IMO. Narcissism and rudeness come to mind. Just because something is legal doesn't mean you should do it.
If you ride on narrow roads, you WILL experience dangerously close passes. You just WILL. The choice is yours to venture out there knowing this fact full well. So why gripe when it happens? It is SO easily avoidable.
